Quick answer

Spray the Hydra Ultra Dematting & Finish Spray onto damp or dry fur, then brush through to detangle and add shine without weighing down the coat.

Why use a dematting and finish spray

A single product that both detangles and finishes saves time during grooming. The Hydra Ultra Dematting & Finish Spray uses a zero-weight formula with D-Panthenol and oils to lock in moisture, reduce static, and leave a smooth, shiny coat. It works on both dogs and cats with long or dense fur.

One trade-off: while it helps remove knots, severely matted coats may need a pre-treatment or careful sectioning before spraying. The spray is not a substitute for a dematting tool on heavy mats.

Step-by-step use

  1. Shake the bottle: Shake the Hydra Ultra Dematting & Finish Spray well before each use to ensure the D-Panthenol and oils are evenly mixed. Skipping this step can result in uneven application and less effective detangling.
  2. Section the coat: Divide the coat into manageable sections, especially if it is long or dense. Work on one section at a time to ensure every layer receives the spray. Rushing through without sectioning often leaves tangles in the undercoat.
  3. Spray from a distance: Hold the bottle 6–8 inches away from the fur and mist lightly. Avoid saturating the coat; a light even mist is enough to reduce static and ease brushing. Over-spraying can make the coat feel damp and take longer to dry.
  4. Brush through: Use a slicker brush or comb to work the spray through the fur from root to tip. The formula helps slip through knots without pulling. Always brush in the direction of hair growth to prevent breakage.
  5. Finish with a final mist: After brushing, give a final light mist to lock in shine and anti-static benefits. Let the coat air dry or use a low-heat dryer on a cool setting. A final mist adds gloss but can cause a sticky feel if overdone.
